SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Scott Boras, the agent for former Royals closer Greg Holland, said at the General Managers Meetings that Holland won't have another showcase before potentially signing with a team.
Holland, a free agent, is recovering from Tommy John surgery that kept him out for all of the 2016 season. On Monday, Holland threw about 30-35 pitches at nearby Grand Canyon University with scouts from numerous teams reportedly on hand, including the Royals, Indians, Red Sox, Giants and Mariners.
Holland's velocity was reportedly around 88-91 mph, considerably lower than during his stellar seasons with the Royals when his fastball sat around 95-96 mph.
